SAF-T Bulgaria – Digital Tax Reporting and Compliance
SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is a standardized XML-based format developed by the OECD, designed to enable tax authorities to receive, process, and analyze accounting data electronically.
The SAF-T directive introduces mandatory periodic submission of structured financial and accounting information to the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency (NRA).
In Bulgaria, SAF-T reporting is being introduced gradually. The requirement became effective for the largest taxpayers on January 1, 2026, and will progressively apply to all businesses. During the next implementation phase between 2027 and 2028, medium-sized and small enterprises will also be included.
Failure to comply with SAF-T requirements may lead to penalties imposed by the NRA. For this reason, implementing a reliable SAF-T software solution is becoming essential for every company.
What Information Does the SAF-T File Contain?
The standard SAF-T XML file is structured into several key sections:
- Header - General company and reporting period information
- MasterFiles - Chart of accounts, customers, suppliers, products and master data
- GeneralLedgerEntries - Accounting transactions and ledger entries
- SourceDocuments - Sales and purchase invoices, payments and accounting documents
- Assets - Fixed assets and depreciation data
- StockMovements - Inventory movements and stock transactions
